Opeth April Ethereal

It was me, Peering through the looking-glass
Beyond the embrace of Christ
Like the secret face within the tapestry,
Like a bird of prey over the crest
And she was swathed in sorrow,
As if born within its mask

Her candlelight snuffed, The icon smiled
Emptiness followed by her wake
I could clasp her in undying love
Within ghostlike rapture the final word was mine

She faced me in awe

It was a token of ebony colour
Embodied in faint vapour
Wandering through April's fire
Compelled to grasp and to hold the one that was you (2x)

I will endure, Hide away
I would outrun the scythe, Glaring with failure

It is a mere destiny I thought,
A threshold I had crossed before

The rain was waving goodbye,
And when the night came the forest folded its branches around me
Something passed by, And I went into a dream
She, laughing and weeping at once: "Take me away"

I don't know how or why, I'll never know ''When''
